Elements to enhance your summer garden in Marbella

Summer is almost upon is, and now’s the time to get your garden ready for ultimate seasonal enjoyment and those long sunny months when the Costa del Sol becomes the place to be. Unlike spring, when garden work is all about clearing the ‘cobwebs’ of winter away, shuffling and aerating the soil, planting seeds and watching the wonderful flowering of plants to fill your property with a kaleidoscope of colours and scents, summer gardens are a little more hedonistic; a little more about you!

 

 

A true lifestyle feature

With the climate and outdoor living of the Costa del Sol, the summer garden is a true lifestyle feature just made for relaxing, entertaining, leisure and even partying in style. Now more than ever, we appreciate the space, peace, views and pleasure such a space can give us, and whether yours is a small or expansive garden, you should make the most of it and ensure it is a real embellishment of your home and way of life.

With summer pleasures in mind, we therefore look to creating shaded areas and pergolas that provide cool, peaceful spaces in which to retreat. They can be the ideal spot in which to relax, read a book, enjoy a refreshment and take in wonderful views and surroundings; or an area to escape the summer heat and socialise in the evenings, enjoying al fresco meals made even more pleasant when there’s a cooling breeze coming off the sea.

 

 

For those who have the space and imagination, today’s summer garden also adds the option of outdoor bars and chill-out zones, stylish wooden decks beside the pool, cabanas with dining areas and changing room/toilet facilities, and even built-in barbecues or outdoor kitchens.

A very stylish and ‘new’ back-to-the-future feature is the fire pit, usually a lowered seating area with a gas-operated fire that keeps you comfortable even when the cool of the evening sets in. Such features originally surfaced in the 1960s and 70s, though today’s fire pits are very of our times, with 21^st century styling and comfort that rounds off your ultimate summer experience in Marbella.
